About The Shot

This is a classic shot with two balls stacked in the corner pocket. The cue ball pockets the bottom one, then goes around the table 3 rails and comes back to pocket the top one which has since dropped on to the table.

Discipline: Bank & Kick

Difficulty: Beginner

Make This Shot

I like to center the stacking ball between the points of the corner pocket, just so I can have a reproducible position for it. You can use a small washer to balance the balls if you don't have a stacking ball.

I like to freeze the cue ball to the short rail at the 1st diamond. Some players will attempt to freeze the cue ball to the stacking ball, or at least get it as close as possible. Both methods work. I use a 1/2 ball aim with 1 tip of running english. I usually make adjustments using my aim.
